Starcloud is building data centers in space, using satellites equipped with solar panels, radiation shielding, and radiative cooling systems to run GPU compute in orbit. Starcloud launched its first satellite, Starcloud-1, in November 2025, carrying an Nvidia H100 GPU. Their next launch, Starcloud 2, is coming later this year. The satellite will contain GPUs, an AWS server, and a bitcoin mining computer. Starcloud raised a $200M total across a $30M Seed and a $170M Series A in March 2026, the latter led by Benchmark and EQT Ventures, vaulting the company to a $1.1B valuation.
